Nail salons are considered by some an oasis from the world, places sought out for resets and retreats worthy of royalty. But, for some customers, their sign-ins at the reception desk are equivalent to signing deals with the devil, or so it seems based off their no-holds-barred Yelp reviews of San Antonio salons.

Searching nail salons from varying sides of the city, a collection of nightmarish nail salon reviews culminated into a list of that will leave you full of fear for your phalanges.

There's the typical, "I know my pedicurist was mocking me," allegations along with stories of botched and bloody fingers. Even worse, one woman claims her car was towed at the request of the salon she was a patron at.

Another common Yelp claim made by disgruntled dames was that their adolescent children and nephews could do a better job than the licensed technicians.

"[...] she grabs those plier cutters and goes nuts on my fingers and literally cut my skin off to the point the pain had me jolt," a review said. "No apology for the bleeding just said to me to sit still and don't be stiff."

In some instances, even men chimed in to defend their wives and pocketbooks.

"They butchered my wife's feet," one review claims. "A blind person with a cheese grater would have done less damage, and she would have required less band aides the day after."

For example, "failure to store sterilized or sanitized instruments according to manufacturers instructions" — a frequent complaint by Yelpers — is punishable by a $500 fine upon the first violation, $800 to $1,200 the second time and $1,500 to $1,900 charge and/or up to 6-month suspension the third time around.
